Abstract

The Middle East is home to a significant number of displaced people including refugees who are under the mandate of the bifurcated International Refugee Regime, that is to say, across the mandates of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). According to UNHCR’s planning figures for the Middle East and North Africa for 2022, of a total of 16 million forcibly displaced and stateless people in the region, 12.5 million were internally displaced (78% of the total), while 2.5 million (15% of the total) were refugees (UNHCR, 2022a). All refugees in the region, except for Palestinians, fall under the mandate of UNHCR; in turn, 5.8 million Palestinian refugees are under UNRWA’s mandate, and are consistently excluded from the so-called “global” refugee agency’s statistics.
